AI financing continues to expand private-market capacity
The week also brought further evidence of the financing capacity being assembled for the AI buildout. NVIDIA announced a $500 billion vendor-financing platform with Blackstone, Apollo, KKR and others, while a $105 billion NVIDIA guarantee for a new OpenAI data centre was announced on 17 August.
The platform is intended to give borrowers access to markets and structures that can increase their financing capacity. It adds to the growing role of large private capital providers in funding AI-related infrastructure.
